That racist punk trying unsuccessfully to stare down the older Native American veteran, as his white MAGApack mocks the music, is a sickening image that sums up Trump's reinvigoration of the darkest aspects of our history. Notice how the punk flinches with some of the drum beats.

Trump’s tweet about Cohen this morning continues his attempted witness intimidation in plain sight. His congressional allies would be screaming for impeachment if this were coming from a president they didn’t like. The history books will focus more on their villainy than his.

I don't think Trump has any idea what his shutdown is doing to federal employee families, and I doubt he'd care if he did. It's especially hard on those forced to work for free, who can't work other jobs while they're on duty. Some can't afford gas to get to work or childcare.

This @robbysoave is wrong: "white, MAGA-hat-wearing male teenagers remained relatively calm & restrained." Maybe ripping off a shirt, jeering, mocking native music, & doing a tomahawk motion is restrained on Planet White Power. But staring a man down is still aggressive on Earth.
